A Brisbane quarantine hotel will be evacuated and hundreds of people quarantined after six cases of the highly contagious UK strain were traced back to that CBD hotel

Health officials and police are investigating how a casual cleaner, working in the Hotel Grand Chancellor where international arrivals are in quarantine, become infected with the UK strain.

The 250 quarantined guests who have left the hotel since December 30 would be contacted and they would be quarantined and tested."So the first good step is that the number of arrivals have been decreased, but also ... the fact that all of these six people were on the 7th floor." "There is no need for the public to be concerned, but we are going to take some immediate actions as a precaution."

"I think the safest thing to do is to move all of the guests out of that hotel to other hotels immediately," she said.
